    You might be taking a walk down the road when you notice someone walking on the opposite end of the road—first, towards you and then, away from you. You also notice this person noticing you. And before you know it, you’re looking at each other with an unspoken and inexplicable sense of familiarity. Before you realize, you’ve already found the spark with this stranger that you might never meet again. It’s just a moment in time; a fraction of a second and yet, it’s an eternity.
    What do you do? Do you pursue it? Do you watch them slowly pass you by? Do you smile to yourself, imagining all the endless possibilities that could have been and yet, won’t be?
    Interesting, isn’t it? What one unexpected glance at someone you don’t even know can do?

    Truth is, not everyone you bump into ignites the spark. Let’s say there’s about a 1000 people walking on the street at a given point; there’s a chance that you could connect with a maximum of two out of those thousand people. And what are your chances that you would actually meet those two, or even one of those, people? That’s a lot of probability for a mathematically challenged person. But, the chance of a ‘random romance’ that comes out of an encounter you had on a street is not lost, ever.
    What I’m trying to say? That every now and then, you meet someone who ignites the spark. This someone is not a common friend of a common friend; is not someone you matched with on a dating app and is not someone you meet through distant family relatives. This someone is a total stranger and yet, it doesn’t seem like that at all. The spark is always there within you and a few other people, waiting to ignite, as soon as you’re on the same frequency, the same Universe and on the same street.

    But, here’s the thing. Some sparks remain just that—a spark. You ignite it and once the moment has gone, so is the spark. It fizzles out. Other times, it burns bright, turns into a wildfire and glows like the sun so that everyone around can shine in its light, or burn in its heat. That’s how sparks work.
    They could pique your interest, leave you wondering and burn everything down. It all depends on how bright the spark and how strong the magnetization. And just like any two magnetic objects that are drawn to one another at a specific field, two human beings are drawn the same way to one another, until they start to pull apart.
    The spark then gets dimmer and dimmer, the farther you get. And there will come a point when you’ll be wondering where did it go? How far ahead did you walk for the spark to fade into nothing? And then, you’ll find it again, in another stranger, at another time and on another street—maybe it will glow this time…

    Whether it’s casual, committed, recreational or just a good ol’ one night stand, there’s always that one thing that will irk you about your partner, when you’re in the sack. While it is usually considered rude to talk about the elephant in the room...pun intended, we asked 13 dudes to be totally honest, and reveal their not-so-sexy  carnal moments.
    1) ‘Most of the girls I've slept with go into 'corpse mode'. Essentially they lay back, pretend to be a corpse and expect me to do all the work. Not fun at all!’ - Amit, 24
    2) ‘It’s weird—but they make men feel...disposable!’ - Mudit, 30
    3) ‘What I hate most during *** is body lotion—it just doesn’t taste good!’ - Anuj, 23

    4) ‘I find it difficult to remember names of full-time, in-between and barely-there girlfriends. Especially during ***!’ - Karan, 29
    5) ‘The fact that we can’t receive multiple orgasms!’ - Manav, 21
    6) ‘Women sometimes don’t want to use condoms! And I find it quite annoying to justify using protection to someone you barely know!’ - Simon, 28

    7) ‘When she cums way before you do, and you’re supposed to hurry up or just...give up!’ - Pratap, 24
    8) ‘When she falls asleep….while we are at it!’ - Rahul, 26
    9) ‘Some women take forever to get off! You've fingered her for over an hour, lost your tongue in there somewhere, pounded her like a machine, and one hour later, she's still “almost there”’ - Ankush, 25
    10) ‘The lack of foreplay!’ - Karan vir, 28
    11) ‘Don’t tell my girlfriend, but I hate going down on her. And the fact that you—as a man, are supposed to love it, is beyond my understanding!’ - Jatin, 24
    12) ‘Nothing!’ - Shashank, 27
    13) ‘Garlic breath!’ - Akshay, 26

    In what appears to be one of the few silver linings for the struggling England side, opening batsman Haseeb Hameed has undoubtedly been in great form in the ongoing five-match Test series. The 19-year-old has attracted a lot of praise for his mature performance against India.
    He became the youngest debutant to open for England in a Test match, when he played in the first Test against India at Rajkot in November. For a player so young, Hameed's gutsy show against the threatening Indian bowling attack in the second innings at Mohali, made everyone stand up and take notice of the right-hander. 
    His batting prowess has left everyone wondering about the preparation behind his success at such a tender age. But, no one would have anticipated a Mumbai man to play a significant role in Hameed's rise through the ranks early in his career.

    There's no doubt that the right-hander has done all the hard work to push his own capabilities, but the guidance and supervision of his Mumbai coach Vidyadhar Paradkar has undoubtedly made a significant difference in his batting ability.
    It was back in 2011 when a 14-year-old boy from Lancashire came to Mumbai for a five-week cricket training programme. He was introduced to coach Paradkar by a local police officer - an acquaintance of Hammed's father Ismail.
    In his quest to learn the fundamentals of the game, Hameed underwent rigorous training with Coach Paradkar guiding him all the way. From cone drills to sweaty net sessions, the Mumbai coach made him work on numerous aspects of his batting.

    "Watching the ball, and that your bat should come down in a line, are the two things I emphasised while working with him," Paradkar told ESPNcricinfo. "I also told him to rotate the strike; you have to take singles. And now see, he was rotating the strike. Picking the gaps and going to the non-striker's end are his forte," he added.
    Coach Paradkar, who mentored Zaheer Khan and Ajinkya Rahane, also revealed that Hameed was a very quick learner. "He was a very, very quick learner. Initially he was not playing that straight, so I told him the check drive is the best solution. I gave him some cone drills: keep your bat straight and hit the cone, keep your foot on the line of the ball, bring your bat down in a line, and he did it a hundred times," he recalled.

    During his stint at the academy, Hameed took a keen interest in understanding the sport and participated enthusiastically in batting and bowling drills. His hard work paid off in the three club matches he played, where the budding batsman remained unbeaten at a score of about 50 in all of them.
    After finishing the training programme at the Paradkar's Academy, Haseeb received a certificate that defined him as a hardworking and sincere player. At the near end of the certificate, Paradkar had also mentioned: "I would not be surprised if he plays for his country provided he works on his running skills."

    At the end of 2015, Hameed returned for his second stint with coach Paradkar. "If he nicked the ball in the nets, he would ask, 'What went wrong? Was my bottom hand in the wrong position? Did my bat go to the side? Where was my head?" Paradkar said.
    "He was a much better batsman the second time he came. I was very sure at that time his Test debut would come soon," he added further. And when he donned the England whites in the Test series against India, his Mumbai coach was ecstatic for his pupil's growth.
    Hameed's story is an inspiration for budding cricketers. The fact that he devoted himself and concentrated on multiple aspects of the game at a young age goes on show his hunger to consistently improve his skills.
    This was a great moment for me as well. A really sincere and honest guy. Grateful for his time, minutes after his side had won the game. ?? https://t.co/UNleNotolt
    — Haseeb Hameed (@HaseebHameed97) December 2, 2016 No wonder he got a pat on the back and huge praise from the Indian Test captain, Virat Kohli, after his performance at Mohali. We bet, Kohli, too, sees the young bloke going places.

    Love never dies. We hear of eternal love in the movies, read about it in the books, and think to ourselves, ‘Oh it doesn’t happen in real life”. But it does. It’s there in the love story of that elderly couple who still sits in the park and muse about the years gone by. It’s that love you can never forget, even if it ceases to hurt you. It’s that love you think of with an indulgent ache.
    © YouTube
    When you pine for a lost lover, there is nothing that can dull the ache except the sight or memory of her. Christina Perri’s hit song ‘A Thousand Years’ hit the right chords in every lover’s heart. But this acoustic cover by Boyce Avenue is even more beautiful with Alejandro Manzano’s raw and honest singing. 
    Here’s the original song:

    We might curse the Internet for glorying inappropriate and hurtful trolls and memes at times, but let’s not forget that just like every coin has two sides, social media, too, acts as a silver lining when you least expect it. That’s exactly what happened with 65-year-old Nazer al-Islam Abdul Karim, a Bangladeshi cleaner who was mocked on the Instagram for gazing at the window of a jewellery shop in Saudi Arabia. The trolls must have been hoping that more people joined in  to support that pathetic post, but they forgot that people aren’t as heartless as they were to joke about someone’s misery. 
    السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

    — انسانيات (@ensaneyat) December 3, 2016 Karim was looking at the window when someone took his picture without his consent and uploaded on social media with this caption – “This man deserves to only look at rubbish.” Agitated over this rude comment, a Twitter handle named Ensaneyat used by Abdullah Al-Qahtani, took the initiative to find the man and started asking people to identify the picture.  
    السلام عليكم
    لمن سأل هذا هو العامل pic.twitter.com/x1KCQ7JPo8
    — انسانيات (@ensaneyat) December 4, 2016 What’s more, the trolls got a slap on their faces as most people, after reading those derogatory remarks, joined the campaign to find the old man. After a few days, people were able to track him down. Since then, Karim has been showered with gifts, jewellery, cash, honey, return tickets to his home country, bags of rice and two smartphones – an iPhone 7 and a Samsung Galaxy; and the presents are still pouring in. 
    اللهم لك الحمد والشكر والف شكر لمن قدّم الخير ❤️ https://t.co/sHRd7DWqGj pic.twitter.com/pp0Mb48nnp
    — تركي الدعجم (@turkialdajam) December 4, 2016 A delighted Karim told CNN, “I was just doing my job as a cleaner in the municipality and found myself in front of the gold shop. I am very happy about the gifts and very thankful.” 
    These acts of kindness show that humanity is still present and can surprise you when you are least expecting it. Asfor all those trolls, this was not a terrible thing to do, jokes and memes are meant to make people laugh and not hurt someone’s sentiments.

    Well, it was a quite a big deal when the iPhone 7 ditched the headphone jack and many people moaned about it for months. However, according to reports, it seems like the trend is going to be continued by Samsung and their next flagship phone, the Galaxy S8, will also forgo the headphone jack. 
    © BCCL
    Since Samsung fucked up the Note 7 and literally burned things down, a lot is riding on Samsung’s next flagship phone. Everybody wants to know what Samsung's next move is and a jack-less Galaxy S8 does not seem to be the answer. This move might keep Samsung in line with the trend but we don’t believe it is the way to move forward for Samsung. 
    A Samsung Galaxy phone without an audio-jack means that future owners will have to resort to wireless headphones or headphones that would be compatible with USB-C ports. 
    © BCCL
    Removing the headphone jack does free up space that can be utilised by manufacturers to install a bigger battery or a thinner phone but it still does not seem like a good idea for Samsung since they are looking for a promising rebound. The extra free space might solve Samsung’s woes as the Note 7 was packed with a battery that did not leave enough space for it to expand and caused the phone to catch fire. 
    © YouTube
    SamMobile, which broke the story, have sources that say the Galaxy S8 will:
    • Use a 2K screen resolution (same as the S7) instead of a 4K display
    • Have better screen quality because of a new AMOLED display material
    • Have a higher screen-to-body ratio
    • Lose the physical home button
    • Add an optical fingerprint scanner
    Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S8 in February at the Mobile World Congress show.

    Ever since the first poster of ‘Raees’ came out, SRK fans had been waiting to watch what he has in store for them with his next release. Well, the movie trailer is out and it’s kind of a letdown. A major letdown, honestly. Of course, SRK looks badass as a bootlegger being chased by the police but the film’s intent seems rather confused. It seems like 'Raees' only has two things working for it – SRK’s star power and Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s performance. Pakistani actress Mahira Khan can be seen romancing SRK and while she looks pretty, their romance seems pretty random. Shah Rukh Khan seems to have his feet in too many boats in ‘Raees’ and none of it seems realistic or believable. But again, this is just the movie trailer. We did spot some powerful dialogues in the trailer so here’s hoping 'Raees' delivers more than it promises! More than that, let’s hope (and pray) this isn’t another 'Dilwale'.

    The bodybuilding supplements industry is vicious. It feeds on misinformation spread across the youth via dumb trainers. Thousands of young dudes full of potential are conned into buying stacks of supplements that they don’t even require. An example of the most glaringly idiotic supplement is the ‘tribulus terrestris’ also known as testosterone and test boosters. What’s worse is that guys as young as 18 are popping these. Here, let me cut to the chase, T-Boosters DON’T work as they are advertised. Here’s what you need to understand.
    What’s Tribulus Terrestris? © YouTube
    Tribulus is an herb. It’s no chemical, nothing synthetic. It’s an herb native to warm temperate and tropical regions of the World, example- southern Europe, southern Asia, throughout Africa, and Australia. So, if you thought it was a synthetically manufactured supplement, it’s isn’t.
    Understand The Difference Between Rise In The Level Of Testosterones And Rise In Libido The first thing that most guys who use T-Boosters come up with is that they get a morning wood more often. In short, they always have an erection in the morning upon waking up. This makes them think that their T levels are going up because of the pills they have been using. A rise in libido generally doesn’t mean that your testosterone levels are going up. The contents of tribulus make it an excellent aphrodisiac that tricks the user to believe that the t-levels are rising when in reality, they aren’t.
    No ‘Study On Humans’ Have Proved That Tribulus Helps The Body Synthesize More Testosterone Inside The Testicles © YouTube
    Most supplement companies front the ‘study claims’ that Tribulus helps produce more testosterone. But least known is the fact that most of these studies are carried out on rats and monkeys, not humans. Moreover, these primates are ‘injected’ with Tribulus, instead of oral dosage as we consume. However, a couple of studies on humans do suggest a little change in body composition and negligible changes in strength endurance but nothing concrete about ‘rise in T’.
    It’s The Amount Of ‘Protodioscin Extract’ In A Tribulus Supplement That ‘Might’ Just Help Raise T-Levels © YouTube
    Protodioscin is a steroidal saponin compound found in Tribulus. It’s the most potent component of the Tribulus, making it an active aphrodisiac. A study on humans with as much as 10% protodioscin has shown significant rise in T-Levels. Sadly though, majority of the Tribulus supplements available in the market don’t have enough of this extract and sell you short. 
    It Might Help Your Libido But Don’t Mistake It For A Rise In T-Levels Contrary to how it’s advertised to sell, it doesn’t do anything that it promises. Your libido might go up, some will notice facial hair growth, better attention span and a generally active lifestyle. But there’s no relation between actual T-level rise and supplementing with t boosters.
    Dietary Fat And Cholesterol Is The Only And The Best Testosterone Booster © YouTube
    Dietary fat and cholesterol are the only things a male’s body can manufacture testosterone from. There’s simply no other natural way. Decrease your carbs slowly and increase your fat intake, you will notice the difference yourself.
    Beware! If you are below 30 and your fat consumption is on point, supplementing with testosterone boosters is simply stupidity.

    Leicester City scripted one of the most amazing underdog stories last season in the premier league and that sentiment seemed to have reverberated to various other leagues around the world. In an unprecedented move, RB Leipzig is turning the tables on league bigwigs Bayern Munich and Dortmund. And it’s pretty amazing considering the football club was founded in 2009, just seven years ago.
    One of the reasons for their sudden rise is this philosophy of the club’s sports director, Ralf Rangnick. “It would be absurd to think that it could work with them (Messi and Ronaldo) here. They are both too old and too expensive.” Rangnick then, as the statement depicts, believes that youngsters alone have been instrumental in their rise to the top of the German league and that a Messi or a Ronaldo wouldn’t stand a chance in a team with an average age of 23.
    © Reuters
    The team is sustained by energy drink giants Red Bull and that is one of the reasons why they are sometimes referred to as 11 cans. But this annotation directed as an insult to the club doesn’t bother Rangnick. “If that was true, then 11 'cans' beat 11 'bottles', which in German (slang) means 'someone who played poorly' - I say that with a twinkle in my eye," said Rangnick after Leipzip defeated Dortmund 1-0.
    The success of Leicester City last season has provided a lot of confidence to sides such as Leipzip and Rangnick just stops short of calling it a revolution in the way football is played. “I don't know if it's a revolution, but it's unusual that a team, who was in the fourth division three-and-a-half years ago is now on 33 points after 13 games,” Rangnick quips.
    © Reuters
    This evolution of Leipzig in just seven years is one of the most amazing stories from the world of football. As Leicester carries on its incredible form in the Champions League, this era of league football might just transform the way the sport is played throughout the world.
    The next challenge for Leipzig is to defeat Bayern on 21st December and Rangnick knows the importance of that game if they are to sustain their incredible start to the season. "In a normal season, Bayern will win the title, but maybe this isn't a normal season. Our match against them (December 21) won't be decisive, but it will be exciting. Last season, we were the favorites in each (second division) game. This season we have nothing to lose, "Rangnick recently said. For a sports director who thinks Messi and Ronaldo won’t work in his team, a win against Bayern would actually be the beginning of a revolution and the fan in me is already rooting for the underdog.

    If you are still not over the hot Pakistani Chaiwala who broke the internet with just one picture and even got himself a modeling contract, here’s another Chaiwala from India who will make you feel jealous AF. Rajkumar sells tea outside Jaipur’s Udyog Bhawan, and he got the shock of his life when the IT department officials pulled him up for interrogation after his bank account was credited with a whopping Rs. 4.8 crore (according to an India Today report). It’s like the Pakistani Chaiwala got the modeling contracts and everything, but this Indian Chaiwala got the payment and proved who the boss is! While most of our accounts still show Rs. 4,500 which we sadly can’t even take out at the moment, this poor man had no idea how much he had in his account. 
    © Twitter
    He was grilled for nearly five hours with officials accusing him of converting black money into white and demanded an explanation from him regarding the source. As expected, the tea vendor was shocked and had no idea where the money was credited from. After hours of harassment and questioning, it was later found that he did not convert any black money, instead there was a problem with the bank entry. WTF! When he was taken to the bank, the manager verified the record and found that only Rs. 3 crore 32 lakh was deposited in the bank. This mistake was made by the Bank of Baroda! 
    © Twitter
    Apparently, Rajkumar deposited 48 notes of Rs. 1000 and one of the employees goofed up by entering a wrong amount. We are sure the guy must be fuming over the huge mistake the bank officials made. OP Tripathi, the bank’s manager said that “it was a manual error and might have happened due to increased work load.” This error was later rectified with Rs. 4 crore 80 lakh converted into Rs. 48,000. 
    Post currency Demonetization, when we can barely get our hands on our own money, such errors are more painful to the ear than the sound of jingling coins in our wallets. Well, we have got to say that the second half of 2016 was totally owned by chaiwalas.

    Apple has been working tirelessly on the 2017 version of the iPhone and the Cupertino-based technology giant is looking forward to launching an iPhone with a brand new design, since it will mark 10 years since the late Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone to the world. Since the launch of the first iPhone, the device has evolved into one of the most popular smartphones in the world and since then, many manufacturers have been trying to imitate Apple and give them a run for their money.
    © YouTube
    However, in the past few years, Apple has not really tried to break the mold with their phones and they have been accused of not being innovative anymore. Even a move to remove the headphone jack was considered to be one of the biggest blunders by the company. 

    2017 will be the year for the iPhone’s 10th anniversary and the company is now looking to go all out when it comes to satisfying their customers. New reports are suggesting that Apple is working on a prototype, which will sport a flexible OLED display and has asked manufacturers such as Sharp, LG, Samsung and Japan Display to amp up their production of OLED screens. There are also rumours that Apple might be pushing to feature a flexible OLED display along with wireless charging that will be dubbed as the iPhone 8.

    There are also rumours that the new iPhone will have a complete all-glass body and it will also do without the Home button and the fingerprint sensor.

    The Home button will be replaced by a full taptic panel and it looks like it will be further refined in future devices. Apple did file a patent where the phone will be able to recognise fingerprints from anywhere on the phone. So that looks like that’s the direction Apple is heading towards.

    Phone sizes have also been a topic of discussion and reports suggest that the next iPhone will be 5.2-inches and 5.8-inches in size. If these leaks and reports are to be believed, we should have a fair idea as to what the next iPhone will look like and there is absolute certainty there are still more stories to be told before the actual launch.

    Okay, this is the day we invented the internet for. It is for this very moment – Ranveer Singh and Baba Ramdev battling it out in a dance-off.

    So, here’s how it all started. Ranveer Singh appeared on Aaj Tak to promote his film ‘Befikre’ and thought it would be cool to be the guy who makes Baba Ramdev dance. While Ranveer Singh cheered, BRD tucked his dhoti in while dropping subtle hints that his hips don’t lie.

    Ranveer Singh shook hands with him and Baba kinda dragged him to the other side, on to the floor.

    Ranveer Singh took off his blazer.

    And BRD knocked him down with this.

    Ranveer lay there dead while BRD humped the floor as a sign of victory.

    BRD went on to do pushups but when Ranveer Singh gave him a tough competition, he became a human scorpion and ATTACKED!

    Somewhere in between, BRD also turned into Mamta Kulkarni mid-orgasm.

    He then threw Ranveer off with an unannounced game of hop-scotch.

    BRD gave the world a new way of saying ‘kiss my ass’.

    Ranveer accepted defeat and did what he was asked to.

    He picked him up and destroyed him on national television…

    This was the part that’s going to stay with us the most, though. Watch him walk off the stage like nothing ever happened. That’s like the most badass walk of shame ever.

    Watch the spectacle for yourself right here.

    Whether its football, cricket or any other sport, the consistency in performance of a player doesn't just boost his morale, rather also provides an opportunity to earn big bucks. After all, who doesn't want to be associated with a star who is at the top of his game.
    Cristiano Ronaldo in football, Virat Kohli in cricket and Usain Bolt in athletics. The exemplary performances of all these sportspersons have been the foundation of their lucrative endorsement deals. Their association with a brand or entity adds further value to the product they are endorsing.

    While Kohli and India's limited-overs captain MS Dhoni are arguably the high-earning cricketers when it comes to the endorsement deals, another budding cricketer Rishabh Pant is also getting his taste of success off the field.
    The fast rising wicket-keeper batsman has signed a three-year multi-crore deal with cricket equipment manufacturers Sanspareils Greenland (SG). The left-hander, over a span of three years, will be seen endorsing SG cricket equipment across all formats of the game.
    The 19-year-old has been in sensational form in the Ranji Trophy this season. While batting for Delhi, the southpaw smashed a blistering 48-ball hundred - the fastest in the history of Ranji Trophy. He has amassed 1,011 runs in a mere nine games in first-class cricket.
    © BCCL
    One of the leading run-scorers in the Ranji Trophy this season, Pant is also the third youngest Indian to score a first-class triple hundred.
    Given his talent and current form, we hope that Pant's deal with SG is only the beginning of many good things to come in his career.

    World’s greatest bodybuilding championship, Mr Olympia, has come a long way. What Joe Weider created in 1965 to help bodybuilders earn some extra money now sits at the helm of bodybuilding competitions. Mr. Olympia grew as competitive platform, and so did the bodybuilders, in literal terms. Larry Scott, the first ever winner, in his best condition, stands nowhere close to the monstrous competitors that now grace the stage. Nothing’s a secret. The use of extreme anabolic androgenic steroids is common in the sport of bodybuilding. Anabolics made their way in on the bodybuilding scene in the early 70s and physiques started getting more massive than ever.
    These are the most successful 'Golden Era' bodybuilders. 
     
    Jimmy Cruse
     
    Here, this is a pretty awesome interactive video that shows how the bodybuilders have evolved ever since 1965. 
    You don’t even have to look closely, with every passing year the bodybuilders have grown bigger. Look at Arnold, he’s more cut and defined with every passing year. Ronnie Coleman added massive amounts of muscle throughout his stage time. 
    This video further details the interactive. 

    Bodybuilding is not a legitimate sport and probably, will never be. The extent of drug use is unimaginable. No discrediting the hard work the bodybuilders put in, they are few of the most disciplined people on the planet. But then again, the drug use makes the this sport questionable.

    Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa passed away last night leaving the whole state in shock and tears. Right from celebrities to political leaders, everyone took to social media to mourn her death and pay their condolences. Veteran actor Kamal Haasan who is known to have had a tiff in the past with the late Chief Minister regarding his movie ‘Vishwaroopam’, also took to Twitter to pay his condolences. However, being the unforgiving platform it is, most people did not take his tweet too well promptly lost their minds.

    While some people still fancy *** dolls and some don’t lose their virginity at all, this 44-year-old man with a ‘bionic *****’ is getting tons of offers from women who are eager to have *** with him. No kidding, Mohammed Abad claims to have got over 50 messages from women who want to experience how the prosthetic manhood feels like. 
    Abad lost his *** organ in a car accident when he was six-years-old, but now that he’s got a bionic ***** installed; things are really looking up for him. Some doctors even hinted that there are possibilities that he can father a child as well since he retained a testicle during the accident; however, it’s still very early to reach any conclusions.
    © YouTube
    “I get a lot of messages from women online who ask me if I will have *** with them,” Abad said. Stating the obvious curiosity in women, he further added “They’ve heard about my bionic ***** and they want to try it out. They are all very intrigued and think I can make love for hours.” Since Abad is the first man to get a prosthetic *****, it’s only natural for women to think like that. We wonder how Micha Stuntz would be feeling like right now.
    While he is probably being envied by every man on Earth, Abad says that by the time he gets free from work, he is too tired to have *** so even if he wants to take up those offers he just can’t because of work. Abad also talked about getting married and said that his parents are looking for a suitable girl for him. 
    “I don’t care what she looks like; she could be tall, short, thin or fat. I prefer personality to looks. My parents will find me a suitable match,” Abad stated. Check out this video posted by ‘This Morning’ where the whole concept of the bionic ***** and how it works is discussed. Fascinating stuff, indeed!
    Known as the Titan Touch Penile Prosthesis, the device has two tubes along the side which are filled with water, once the user presses a button that is placed next to his testicles. Mohammad Abad is a resident of Edinburgh, Scotland who lost his ***** and left testicle when he met with a terrible car accident at the age of six. He was struck by a vehicle and dragged nearly 600 feet.

    Virender Sehwag needs no introduction when it comes to his witty commentary on the social media. From uncanny birthday wishes to drawing hilarious comparisons, the former Indian cricketer is probably the biggest bully on Twitter.
    Whether it's a cricketer or a celebrity, no one seems to have escaped Sehwag's witty humour. And, the latest to come in the firing line is Sri Lankan umpire Kumar Dharmasena.
    The 45-year-old former Sri Lankan cricketer has been going through a lean patch in his stint as an ICC umpire. Dharmasena's ability to give the correct decision has come under scrutiny of late.
    His less-than-impressive outing in Bangladesh was followed by a few blunders in the India-England Test series. And now, he seems to have carried on his poor umpiring form to Australia.
    During the second ODI between New Zealand and Australia on 6 December, Dharmasena once again fell flat on his face after his decision to rule Steve Smith out was overturned by the Decision Review System (DRS).
    While Dharmasena would surely like to forget his blunders, Sehwag, on the other hand, capitalised on the opportunity to prey on the Sri Lankan.
    Sehwag, who had invented the term 'Dharmasena Review System' after the Sri Lankan's umpiring howlers, trolled the umpire with a hilarious tweet.
    Bas itte Se reh gaya,Smith ko sahi decision dene Se.
    After grand success in India&Bangladesh, #DharmasenaReviewSystem now in Australia too. pic.twitter.com/6wcbDqddNc
    — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) December 6, 2016 "Bas itte Se reh gaya,Smith ko sahi decision dene Se. After grand success in India&Bangladesh, #DharmasenaReviewSystem now in Australia too," Sehwag tweeted on Tuesday.
    We are not sure if Dharmasena has seen Viru's tweet, but for his own sake, the Sri Lankan umpire better get his act together knowing that the 'Nawab of Najafgarh' is just lurking around the corner waiting for another slip-up.

    "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win." Mahatma Gandhi's famous quote couldn't have been more befitting for anyone but Ravindra Jadeja.
    In his stint for Team India spanning over seven-long years, the southpaw from Gujarat has seen it all. From being a laughing stock to becoming one of India's most-valuable all-rounder, Jadeja has come a long way to be considered a vital cog in the team.
    He has a knack of picking up wickets at regular intervals for his side. His batting down the order gives India a luxury of having an additional batsman in dire situations. And, when it comes to fielding, he is right amongst the best in business. In a nutshell, he is - what we call in modern-era of cricket - a complete package.
    © Reuters
    With 273 wickets and 2,724 runs across the three formats, Jadeja has cemented his place in the Indian team as one of the most-valuable players. The fact that his 14 Man of the Match awards (4 in Tests, 9 in ODIs and 1 in T20Is) have been derived in 12 Indian triumphs, goes on to show how crucial his presence has been for his side.
    But, it wasn't always the same for the 28-year-old. Jadeja worked hard and completely devoted himself to the game to get to where he is today.
    Chips ki packet ki tarah jaldi over khatam karne waale @imjadeja ,Happy Birthday.
    Cut the cake in this style,by ghumaooing knife like sword. pic.twitter.com/EaYnkIU6GX
    — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) December 6, 2016 Coming from a humble background, the left-hander was born to Anirudhsinh and Lata Jadeja on 6 December, 1988. His father worked as a watchman for a private security agency in NavagamGhed, Jamnagar. Jadeja, alongside his two sisters Padmini and Naina, were exposed to adversity at a tender age.
    But, the biggest of them all came in 2005 when his mother passed away in an accident. Affected by the loss, Jadeja almost gave up on the sport before deciding to return, making his mother proud. And, the Rajput boy hasn't looked back since then.
    Only thing i do when i m not playing cricket.its my style of training ? pic.twitter.com/D7OkmMuK4X
    — Ravindrasinh jadeja (@imjadeja) October 25, 2016 Using his grief as a source of motivation, Jadeja moved up the ranks pretty quickly with his sublime performances. With 42 wickets and 739 runs to his name in the 2008-09 Ranji Trophy, Jadeja caught the attention of the national selectors and was handed his international debut against Sri Lanka.
    In 2012, Jadeja became only the eighth player in history and the first Indian player to score three triple hundreds in first-class cricket. Don Bradman, Brian Lara, Bill Ponsford, Walter Hammond, WG Grace, Graeme Hick and Mike Hussey are the other cricketers who achieved the feat.
    Another MoM trophy in tests ?✌?️?? pic.twitter.com/jUgwqhssWz
    — Ravindrasinh jadeja (@imjadeja) September 26, 2016 His sublime form in domestic cricket earned him a Test debut against England at Nagpur. But, his credentials in the longest version of the game weren't established until 2013 during the home series against the mighty Australians.
    In the historic 4-0 Test series win, Jadeja came out as one of the most important factors in India's prolific outing. The left-hander claimed 24 scalps - dismissing Oz skipper Michael Clarke five out of six times in the series. In the same year, he also emerged as the leading wicket-taker (12 wickets) in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy that was eventually won by India.
    In August 2013, Jadeja became the top-ranked bowler in ODI cricket. By doing so, he became the first Indian bowler to top the rankings since Anil Kumble who topped the list in 1996. Jadeja was at his best and his exploits on the field were shaping his career.

    — BCCI (@BCCI) November 28, 2016 But, then his character was truly tested. A shoulder injury in 2015 denied Jadeja his old bite and accuracy in line which was visible during the World Cup in the same year. He was left out of the ODI side - a second-string squad - that toured Zimbabwe in July, 2015.
    Not one to back down, Jadeja returned strongly for Saurashtra in the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy season and picked up 38 wickets (including six successive five-wicket hauls) and scored 215 runs in four matches. His performance was the one that the selectors just couldn't ignore.
    © Reuters
    He was recalled for the home series against South Africa and the Rajput boy made the most of it. Jadeja's 23 wickets at just 10.82 paved the way for India's 3-0 triumph in the Test series, once again establishing his rapport as a match-winner.
    In his last two Test series, Jadeja has claimed 24 scalps and scored 267 runs including the game-changing 90 in the first innings of the Mohali Test against England. For a man who almost gave up on cricket, Jadeja's journey has surely been nothing less than a Rockstar - a tag that fits him perfectly.
    So as Jadeja celebrates his 28th birthday today, we urge cricket fans to rally behind the Rajput boy and give a big round of applause to the man for all that he has achieved in his career so far.

    Every great leader who has reached the top has always had a few trusted friends and confidantes. Jayalalithaa, the beloved Amma of the south, had a long and eventful journey to becoming the most popular chief minister of Tamil Nadu. While MG Ramachandran , the founder of the AIADMK party, was one of the biggest influences in her life, Sasikala Natarajan was her closest friend and confidante. The two women, who often dressed alike, cut the perfect picture of friendship. 
    Despite not having held any position in the government and in the party, Sasikala enjoyed immense power and authority in the party and was one of Jayalalithaa’s closest advisors.

    Sasikala Natarajan was married to R. Natarajan, a public relations officer in the Tamil Nadu government. But bad times fell upon the family when her husband lost his job during Emergency, and the family had to resort to selling jewellery to keep the stove burning. He urged VS Chandralekha , District Collector of South Arcot, to introduce Sasikala to Jayalalithaa. The former video store-owner shot many weddings and functions for Jayalalithaa and was soon welcomed into Jayalalithaa’s household. 
    © Reuters
    What started as a family acquaintance developed into a strong friendship and Sasikala soon became an indispensable part of Jayalalithaa’s life and household. A school dropout, she never took any official position in the party, but remained closely involved with the functioning of the party. She had a key role in many appointments in the party and the government departments.  From managing her household to being her trusted advisor, Sasikala was always by Jayalalithaa’s side and became her trusted advisor and confidante. The two, in their similar sarees and jewellery, were often seen together at public events. 
    © BCCL
    Jayalalitha adopted Sasikala’s nephew Sudhakaran as her foster son and even planned an extravagant wedding, that had over 25,000 guests, for him.
    © Rediff
    Together in good and bad times, Sasikala was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment along with Jayalalithaa (and two others) in the disproportionate asset case, but they were acquitted by the court later. In 1996, Sasikala went to jail along with Jayalalithaa for the Colour TV scam.
    © NDTV
    The equation between Jayalalithaa and SN was not always smooth – Sasikala’s extended family was accused of trying to run a parallel government. In December 2011, Jayalalithaa ousted SN, her husband and their extended family. The separation did not last long as Sasikala pledged to break all ties with her relatives and serve the party ‘with no public ambition’. She was taken back into the party in March 2012, and thereafter, she continued in her role as Jayalalithaa’s friend and confidante. 
    With Amma no more, all eyes are on Sasikala, the woman who has the power to call the shots in the party. Although she always preferred to stay in the background and displayed no political ambition, her clout in the party tells a different story.

    Looks like Bollywood is finally testing new territories. Dharma Productions is making India’s first ever war-at-sea film and we’re really very excited to see how this turns out to. The film is called ‘The Ghazi Attack’ and even though not much has been revealed about the film, its not hard to tell that the film is based on the sinking of PNS Ghazi, a Pakistan submarine during the Indo-Pak war in 1971. Karan Johar recently made the announcement and we must say it’s something we’re really looking forward to.
    Dharma Productions is proud to partner with AA films for The Ghazi Attack - India's first war-at-sea film! @dharmamovies @RanaDaggubati pic.twitter.com/4ugwmV3w6c
    — Karan Johar (@karanjohar) December 4, 2016 Until now, the film had been kept a secret. The media had zero clue about this venture and with the launch of the first poster, Karan Johar even revealed the film’s release date. It’s February 17th! That’s just two months away!
    The film stars Rana Daggubati and Taapsee Pannu in pivotal roles. The film will track down the mysterious sinking of PNS Ghazi and Rana Daggubati will be playing a naval officer who survives 18 days underwater with his team. Taapsee Pannu will be essaying the role of a refugee.
    © BCCL
    The film has been directed by debutante Sankalp Reddy and it is being said the film might also be partially based on his own book ‘Blue Fish’.
    There are a lot of good reasons to wait for this one. Let’s hope Indian cinema gets it right this time!

    In a recent interview with, renowned English fashion designer, Tom Ford went on to clarify a proposition he had once made to a writer, back in 2004, professing his belief that all men should be penetrated, at least once in their lives. For those of you who don’t know what he’s talking about, it’s anal ***.  
    This is what he said back then. 
    “Every man should be fucked at some point in his life. You shouldn't force yourself to do it. But it's really not that different than having a massage.”
    © Telegraph UK
    In the latest interview, Ford says that while he didn’t mean to make that statement out loud to the writer back then, he did stand by it and he still does. His reasons are simple. “I think it would help them understand women,” he says. 
    The designer went on to elaborate, saying, “It’s such a vulnerable position to be in, and it’s such a passive position to be in. And there’s such an invasion, in a way, that even if it’s consensual, it’s just very personal. And I think there’s a psyche that happens because of it that makes you understand and appreciate what women go through their whole life, because it’s not just sexual, it’s a complete setup of the way the world works, that one *** has the ability to literally — and is expected to and is wanted to — but also there’s an invasion. And I think that that’s something most men do not understand at all.” 
    Well, we may not agree with the man completely, but he sure does have a valid point. No man needs to be ‘penetrated’ but we need to understand where the other side comes from. That’s for sure!
